As a tight head prop I've only ever kicked once during a game. I kicked it straight down the opposition 15s throat who without breaking a sweat sidestepped me and scored under the posts.
As a 2nd row I kicked once in general play from about the 10 yard line. It went over the heads of all the opposition and travelled down the field, eventually rolling out about a metre from the try line. It was a perfect, awesome kick. I knew any other attempt in my career would never be as good. So I never did it again!
I expected there would be some comedy in this video but actually most of the kicks were really really good. I admit I laughed very loudly watching the last one though.
Well, it was a forward who blocked his kick so he wouldn’t survive trying a clothesline or shoulder charge to the head without the forward killing him.
Forwards should never kick or think. They are only there for unintelligently hitting each other to create space or the better-looking, more intelligent backs.
@@AndrewDavidFordeMea maxima culpa! Absolutely fair enough (mind you, I don't know that he didn't!). I think I might have been replying to one of your other videos and not paying proper attention. While I'm about it I'll also apologise (apologize) for the way I've spelled (spelt) 'monochrome'. I'd still like to see Peter Brown kicking as an antidote to the way place-kickers ritualise the process these days. Ban the tee, that's what I say. Hrrmph!.

When I started playing (tight head too), my coach told me if I never kicked the ball, he'd never yell at me. I never kicked the ball. 😆

Also played tight head prop you work so hard for the ball you aloud to kick
9:14 "Is there anything she can't do?" after she absolutely shanked that kick 😂
😂
Andrew Forde dropping these banger videos like its going out of fashion 😅

some absolutely insane kicks in this, lots of those 50 22s arguably better than some of the backs attempts
Don’t think anyone is expecting a tight head to kick a belter down the field, most of the 50-22’s also cone from stealing the ball then kicking.
Let's not forget that after McReight's great 50/22 (3.00), we botched the lineout and shipped a try to the ABs.
Loved seeing these mate - thank you - some absolute bangers - and a few howlers 😂
9:44 Typical Farrell. Charged down and immediately turns to confront the ref rather than play on.

6:38. Red and black on red and black?! Who forgot to pack the whites?
1:20 AFL style kick 🤣
As per usual, great videos!!!😊
Great video, but missing Harry Wilson's mark off the post against Scotland then he punted it 35 metres or so into touch.
Ah damn it can't believe I missed that!
@@AndrewDavidForde That's okay your videos are brilliant. I watched the whole video expecting to see it haha
Nothing lke Vincent Koch 50 22 in the Challenge Cup Final.
That warmed my heart
ON THE VOLLEY!!!!!
Will Evans has a nice touch
Tbh I wish everyone was coached to do this, as it was meant to be played.
6:20 What did the kid say?
already know this is gonna be a banger
(first)

Ahem I think you mean FOR dummy HAHAHA WHO'S UNINTELLIGENT NOW?!?!?! (Written by a forward who is definitely not butthurt by your comment)
Yes, we wouldn’t want the backs to mess their hair or get a blade of grass on their tailored uniforms, would we?
Wot??? No Peter Brown? (Is that because he's in momochrome?)
Peter Brown played in 2024?

You only look like a genius when it works. But still funny nonetheless. Thanks for the video! 💜
No. 8 is barely a forward, shouldn’t count 😂 Remember Zinny…?
Is Macalou in the list?
😂
There really is no reason why forwards can't kick
No reason other than that they likely never practice kicking, they don't have the pace to chase and the backs are far better at it
@memedreamteam-u1p I take the point but how many wingers can't catch, kick or pass!!! Doesn't stop them trying all of those lol
Sure there is. We don’t want to. Means lifting one foot off the ground.
